Chapter Eighty-Nine: Gift-giving

Everyone has been practicing martial arts for more than a month, and the New Year is approaching, and the three countries have sent envoys to bring a lot of gifts, as well as New Year's goods that are not available here. North Mongolia is the characteristics of Yanmen Pass, South Guangdong is the south of the Yangtze River, and East China is the Central Plains.

The East China Emperor sent not the Grand Commander, but a deputy Commander under the Grand Commander, and the Grand Commander was also very busy as the New Year approached, and he couldn't take a break. brought some new clothes to Ling'er for the winter, the best of which was a brocade with a big red dragon pattern, and everyone present had gifts, and Ling'er didn't have anything for the emperor and queen, so let the deputy commander bring the fur sent by the master last time to the queen, bring a letter, and bring some fallen leaves picked by Ling'er on the mountain, these leaves are not available in the imperial city, and bring them back to be fresh, which is also Ling'er's heart.

"Deputy Commander, are all the father, queen and queen mother alright?" Ling'er looked at the gift list brought to her by the deputy commander, and didn't look up to talk to the deputy commander.

"Your Majesty and Niangniang are very good, but Niangniang misses His Highness a little." The deputy commander didn't dare to look up at Ling'er, and replied with his head down.

"You came, why didn't my father and queen mother bring me a letter." Ling'er raised her head to look at the deputy commander.

"Your Majesty said that His Royal Highness doesn't miss home, so he won't bring her a letter, and the woman doesn't stay, and she doesn't want to go home, and she hasn't even received a letter of peace." The more the deputy commander spoke, the quieter his voice became.

"Hahaha, this is resentful of me, this time you go back and bring me a letter back." Ling'er thought about the way her father said these words, and smiled when she thought about it.

"Your Majesty also asked the ministers to ask Your Highness, the two horses are here, can Your Highness coordinate well." The deputy commander took a step back, afraid that Ling'er would get angry.

"Hey, my father gave me a problem, and I was embarrassed to ask, it's good, and I don't see whose daughter I am, can this little thing be handled well." Ling'er continued to look at the gift list and speak: "You just go back to your father." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The deputy commander is not a person to chat, if Master Ling'er comes, he can talk more.

"You go down and find a place to rest, I'm optimistic, I'll look for you when I come back, you will go back tomorrow, right?" Ling'er looked up at the deputy commander: "Thank you for your hard work, running so far and bringing so many things for so long." ”

"It's not hard, it's all necessary, and it's also the duty of the minister, Your Highness is looking for praise." After saying that, the deputy commander withdrew and closed the door.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Ling'er was still looking at the gift list, and asked without raising her head.

"Me, Ah Jue."

"The door is unlocked, you can open it yourself." Ling'er shouted.

The door was opened by Ah Jue, and it was quickly closed, it was a little cold these days, and the room was warm, Ah Jue was afraid that the cold wind outside would come in and freeze Ling'er.

"Is there something wrong? I'm looking at the gift list, and my father and queen mother will give you a new dress for the New Year, and I'll give it to you later. Ling'er didn't look up at him, she was still looking down.

"Father also brought you a small gift, you can see." Ah Jue took a box in his hand and opened it to show Ling'er.

"What is this? As red as blood. Ling'er looked up and didn't know him.

"Bloodstone, my father wrote to me that this is a natural formation, not a request to polish it like this, it is rare that it looks like this when my father met it in the mountains. Father looked rare and novel, and found someone to send it to you. Ah Jue said with a smile.

"A blooming peony flower, it's so gorgeous." Ling'er took out her hand and looked left and right in her hand, "I haven't seen your father, and my father gave me a gift, how can I thank him." ”

"Well, give me more silver and less bullying me." Ah Jue raised her eyebrows and joked.

"Does the old general have no daughters, do you have a sister?" Ling'er asked.

"I'm an older brother, and I really don't have a sister." Jue thought for a moment.

"I was right." Ling'er smiled and covered her mouth, "Then your family is not chickens and dogs, they are all boys." ”

"No, my mother-in-law is very powerful, she is very strict in governing the family, and she has the style of her father."

"Isn't the old general a very gentle man?" Ling'er took the bloodstone with a peony pattern and touched it vigorously, "Look, they all gave me such a rare gift." ”

"You, poor mouth." Ah Jue didn't fight with her.

"Let's go, go to the inner room to show you your gift, I only saw the gift list, but I didn't see what your gift looks like." Ling'er took Ah Jue's sleeve and went to the bedroom.

"Why don't you live in a room alone and hide it next to the bed." Jue laughed at her.

"What do you know, how ugly it is to put people in the living room, I will give them out according to the gift list in a while." Ling'er glanced at Ah Jue, "According to what is written on the gift list, yours is a new dress." Ling'er found Ah Jue's name in the gift pile, "Wen Qingjue, Wen Qingjue, Wen Qingjue, how can there be a box with your name written on it." Here, I've found it. Ling'er happily took out the box with the words Wen Qingjue written on it, and opened it to see that it was the same color and style as Ling'er's dress, a red dragon-patterned brocade dress, which was the difference between the style and size of men and women. This, this, how is it the same as mine, I haven't got married yet, why do I have to dress like this for the New Year, and I will definitely be laughed at by my master when I wear it like this for Chinese New Year's Eve! ”

"I'm not married yet, can I wear a dragon pattern?" Ah Jue is also a little empty.

"Didn't the will have been sent to your house a long time ago, how can I say that you are also my man! Ay! Don't think about your money. Ling'er had an expression of what I was doing with you.

"His Royal Highness is also a person of Chrysostom, how can you Kuang me and other villains. If you say that, I'll have to scavenge for something to go back today! Ah Jue pretended to flip left and right.

"Hey, don't flip around, these are all gifts with a good name written on them." Ling'er slapped his hand.

"That's not good, I want you to pay, I don't have any money and don't leave today, rely on it." Ah Jue is now thick-skinned, and he can play tricks and tricks.

"Then you stay here, sort out the gifts for me, I'll go to the house for Shi Mi's delivery to you, and you will leave when I come back." Ling'er picked up Shi Mi's box, patted Ah Jue's shoulder, and left.

Ling'er went out to feel that it was really cold these days, as the saying goes, 1929 does not shoot, 3949 walks on ice, 59 and 69, looks at willows along the river, 79 rivers freeze open, 89 swallows come, 99 plus 19, ploughing cattle everywhere. It's going to be fifty-nine now, why is it so cold all of a sudden, there is no willow to see at all.

"Knock knock." Ling'er knocked on the door of Shi Mi and Ah Jue's room.

"Who?" A voice came from within.

"I, Ling'er." Ling'er said to the crack in the door, for fear that she wouldn't be able to hear it inside.

"Here we are." Shi Mi's voice was obviously closer, and he opened the door and turned sideways to let Ling'er in, "Ah Jue is not here, go out." ”

"I'm not looking for him." Ling'er turned his face sideways and glanced at Shi Mi, this guy was really lazy, he went into the bed, Ling'er came to him to open the door, it is estimated that he thought Ling'er was looking for Ah Jue, and he would leave after saying a word.

"And you're coming for me?" Shi Mi suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Ling'er was puzzled.

"It's nothing, I thought you were looking for Ah Jue, you didn't even wear clothes, I thought Ah Jue was not there, and a few words could send you away." Shi Mi put on his clothes on the spot, took off his coat, and put them on anew.

"Don't don't, don't wear it, I see that the gift that my father and queen mother brought to you is a new dress, wear it for the New Year, you try it." Ling'er opened the box, it was a maroon red horse-patterned brocade dress, Ling'er felt that this one was more beautiful than Ah Jue's, Ah Jue's one was the same color and pattern as her own, and this one felt more beautiful instead of the other.

"This is a new dress from the palace, the technique style and needlework are different, this dress is really beautiful." Shi Mi touched his clothes, his face full of love.

"Let's try it." Ling'er said.

"Okay, then I'll put it on and try it on." Shi Mi took out his clothes, put them on, buttoned them one by one, Ling'er looked at him, wow, look at it this way, isn't Shi Mi ugly, I hated him before, I have never looked at him directly, this look, is it still very handsome, a muscular man, what I am talking about is Shi Mi, the kind of handsome who is strong.

"What's wrong?" Shi Mi looked at Ling'er and looked at him without speaking.

"No, how many girls do you have to charm when you go back to the imperial city this time, this dress suits you very well." Ling'er couldn't close her mouth with a smile, but Shi Mi was embarrassed, and quickly took off the clothes she was wearing, and put them neatly into the box.

"Makes you laugh." Shi Mi put on the clothes he had started wearing.

"Why, it's really for you." Ling'er praised him, "I delivered this gift, and I left." Rest. "I'm going to leave after finishing my errands, and Ling'er really doesn't have any gossip to talk to Shi Mi.

"Don't worry, I have a New Year's gift from the deputy commander, and my father gave it to you." Shi Mi went to the bedroom to get the gift, "I don't know what it is, my father said that he wanted His Highness to open it himself." ”

Ling'er took the gift box and opened it to see that it was a set of delicately crafted pen, ink, paper and inkstone. "Yushi, this is telling me to study hard." Ling'er looked at it and smiled.

"I don't know why my father sent this." Shi Mi looked at it and smiled, his father was different from before, he used to be a sword and sword, and this made the civil official start to play with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Then thank you, Lord Goshi." Ling'er smiled and said, "You write a letter to the imperial history, and hand it over to the deputy commander tomorrow to bring back to the imperial city." ”

"Okay, I'll save it." Shi Mi gave Ling'er a punch, which was a thank you.

"Rest, it's strange that it's cold to come out of the bed for so long this day." Ling'er said and walked to the door, ready to leave, "Don't send it, go back." ”

"Hmm." Shi Mi waited for Ling'er to go back to bed, his father brought him a letter, saying that it was good to be a royal history, and his heart was wide, he was the eldest son, the lifeblood of his father's heart, his father had been a horse all his life, how good it was to be old from Wenneng , Shi Mi's heart was not a taste, he was so stubborn before, and now it is too late to regret it, in the end it is still a bamboo basket to draw water, he must change Ling'er's mind before going back, and it will be too late to go back, all the efforts and father's efforts are in the water, originally he insisted on coming to think about Ling'er's window period, If you catch up, maybe it will be done, who knows that when you arrive, Ah Jue is close to taking the lead, and he is so angry that he almost vomits blood.

Ling'er gave Shi Mi a New Year's gift and went back to her room, where Ah Jue was waiting for her with a book.

"Let you sort out the gifts for me, how do you look at the book?" Ling'er complained.

Ah Jue didn't answer, glanced at the pile of gifts with his eyes, meaning to look at it himself, Ling'er went into the bedroom to see, it was really cleaned up, although each one has a name on it, but it is not easy to find, Ah Jue made a small label and pasted it next to it, so that it is easy to find, and it is also classified.

"You've been out on your own for so long, and you blame me for not tidying up." Ah Jue said to her, "Why did you talk to Shi Mi for so long." ”

"How long did it take to say two words and come." Ling'er put the gift box in her hand on the table and sat on the bench to rest.

"Yo, it's time for another gift." Jue glanced at the box.

"Why, you are only allowed to send it yourself." Ling'er opened it and showed Ah Jue, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

"It's beautiful." Ah Jue likes it too.

"Do you like it? I've sent you. Ling'er gently pushed the box towards Ah Jue.

"A gentleman does not win the love of others." Ah Jue gently pushed back again.

"Go back to the Imperial City, I'll send you a dozen!" Ling'er said proudly.

"Your Highness remember your words, and don't break your word." Ah Jue's eyes opened when he saw the money.

"Look at yourself, how much do you look like a gentleman! You yourself are Brother Kong Fang. Ling'er laughed at him.

"If Your Highness knows how to spell, please turn me into Brother Kong Fang." Ah Jue is also naughty.

Ling'er smiled and took the inkstone and was about to smash him: "I'll smash it for you." ”

Ah Jue jumped up in fright and rushed to the door, "The gentleman doesn't move!" ”

"I'm just a woman!" Ling'er chased after him with a smile.

"Don't smash such a good inkstone." Ah Jue bypassed Ling'er and ran to the back room.

"It doesn't matter, when you are smashed into Brother Kong Fang, it will be worth a lot, I will take you back to the Central Plains, and you can make a lot of money from the exhibition alone." Ling'er chased after him.

Ah Jue had nowhere to run, and raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong Ling'er." ”

"Haha, there are times when you can't run, go, come with me to send gifts to my master." Ling'er took Ah Jue's sleeve and walked outside, first put the inkstone back, and then took the gift list to see the gift from the master. "When I came back, I brought a lot of things to my master, and it will be a lot, you see." Ling'er pointed to the gift list and showed it to Ah Jue.

"Is it easy for the master to take care of you, shouldn't this be, my father's heart." Ah Jue looked at the gift list and said.

"You carry, this and this, let's go." Ling'er took Ah Jue to give gifts to her master.

Ling'er took Ah Jue to knock at the door, and it was Senior Brother Sheng who opened the door, "It's Ling'er here." Senior Brother Sheng said to his master.

"Master, Sheng'er will go back first." After speaking, Senior Brother Sheng dodged and let Ling'er and Ah Jue come in, and he went out.

After entering, the two of them saluted the master and put the gifts aside, and Ling'er looked at the place where the gifts were placed, and the gift boxes were piled high.

"Master, you receive gifts like this every year, how long will you be rich and rival the country," Ling'er said as she looked at the gift boxes.

"You are unproductive, why can't Shigong be rich and rival the country, Shigong has always been rich and rival the country!" Shigong looked at Ling'er with disdain and said.

"Master is amazing!" Ling'er gave a thumbs up.

"Little girl, choreographer!" Shigong got up to beat Ling'er, but Ling'er was so frightened that she hid in Ah Jue's arms.

"You're here to tell me that my mission is complete?" Shigong looked at this scene and laughed.

"What task?" Ling'er asked stupidly.

"Master, no, don't keep talking. When the disciples heard this, they were afraid. "Ah Jue is thin-skinned this time.

"What are you afraid of, if this task is not successful, you don't want to go back to the imperial city, stay here with the master, and the master can't lose you." The master looked at Ah Jue, and he liked this apprentice very much.

Seeing that the master was about to arrange Ling'er and Ah Jue again, Ling'er had an idea and asked: "Master, you want so much money, what are you doing if you don't have a wife, no children and no daughters." ”

Shigong was coldly said like this, and was stunned on the spot.
